Population growth is limited by the ability of the natural environment to sustain it. It can be limited by food shortages or a lack of shelter. Disease outbreaks can also limit population growth.

What is unrestricted growth?

Unrestricted growth refers to a situation where a population or system can increase without any limitations or constraints. In this scenario, resources are abundant, and there are no factors that impede the growth of the population. This can lead to exponential or rapid growth until environmental factors eventually limit further expansion.

What are the factors of the human growth population?

human population has been growing rapidly since before the year 1000 but human population does not have a limit to how high it goes but it's us that gives it a small limit of what it can cope with, food production, waste produce, crime rate, health service are all at risk of over population so the population only has a small limit and we are the only ones that give it the limit!

What is a density-dependent limiting factor A.Tornado B.unusual weather C.human activities D.competition?

Density-dependent limiting factors are factors that limit a population's growth based on its density. Competition falls under this category because as population density increases, individuals must compete more intensely for resources like food, water, and space, which can limit population growth. Tornadoes, unusual weather, and human activities are not density-dependent factors as they do not directly depend on the density of the population.
